YES! THIS DAMN UNIVERSE! · by Michael McClure

YES! THIS DAMN UNIVERSE!
An ever-flowing, eternal, closed up,
open system—a dial of vibratory flows
from end to front—a technicolor timeless object—
STARS—STARS—NEBULAE—AND SWIRLS
of growing energy that fantasizes self.
A LIVING STATUE OF A SONG!
(Amoeba daydreams Metazoa.
Helium imagines Milky Way!
Or start from either end.)
ALIVE AS THE SEA!
When it all begins
